First off, Happy New Year! Even though technically it isn't January 1st year for me or the official site time, might as well lump this post along with the new poll, right? Besides, it's the new year for a lot of the world by now...

This week's poll comes from the mind of our member zweeb. Going on with last week's poll on "drama," here's another one of a different kind. Have you watched any TV dramas based on manga/anime? They can be any of any origin (like I know Hana Yori Dango has Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean TV dramas).

I've seen a lot of Japanese Dramas, and many are of the very highest-quality. The ones that tend to be low-quality are typically those based on manga/anime, or those that aim for a similar feel to anime.

i've seen the Korean and Taiwanese production of Hana Yori Dango which are quite good (I haven't seen the Japanese yet) mmm...well, most of them are from shoujo manga though after all, i don't read that many of shoujo mmm...

I do watch them sometimes. Some are great; Nodame Cantabile(super amazing), It Started With A Kiss(so endearing), Meteor Garden S1. Some are good; HYD, Goong, and Gokusen s1. Some are okay like Mischievous Kiss. And some are terrible, Boys Over Flowers (too bad this is clearly the highest quality production of the adaptations.)
